Stay Hungry , Stay Foolish
“Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish”. – Whole Earth Catalogue
These two simple sentences capture the essence of all well built organizations
Staying Hungry – Each and every one of us, be it in Sales, Delivery or Support need to get hungrier and approach our role with an attitude of what can be done better. In our roles we all contribute to the maturity of the organization. When there is self respect and self confidence , we approach the role with a sense of purpose. Staying hungry is believing what we are doing is still not the best and challenging yourself to do better. If your basic competency is in Sales – you stay hungry by telling yourself that, before the financial year is done I have to put a 10+ million dollar deal on the table for the group. If your comfort zone is the million dollar deals, but your hunger should be the 10+ million dollar deal. I would advise you give up your comfort zone and go for the hunger zone.
There is a lot of excitement and challenge in it. !!!!!
Staying Foolish – The biggest risk in organizations that are growing is some people stop dreaming big. Complacency and fear of failure are two main reasons organizations don’t grow to the levels that they aspire. By allowing yourself to look foolish, you can give yourself the opportunity to dream big and avoid being complacent and not be afraid of failure.
